* Records 168 incidents, 437
fatalities, 614 injuries
BY CLIFFORD NDUJIHE
FROM a disturbing position
of 16, four years ago, Nigeria
has sank deeper into the
abyss of terrorism and is
now the 7th most-terrorised
country in the world,
according to the latest
ranking of the Global
Terrorism Index (GTI).
From the 16th slot in 2008,
Nigeria went down to 11 in
2009; 12 in 2010; and now
seven with a GTI of 7.24.
According to the report,
Nigeria recorded 168
incidents of terrorism in
2011 from which 437
persons died, 614 persons
sustained injuries and 33
properties were destroyed.
Nigeria is worse than Sudan,
which is ranked 11th and
Mali (34th).
Ahead of Nigeria on the
index are Iraq (9.56),
Pakistan (9.05), Afghanistan
(8.67), India (8.15), Yemen
(7.30) and Somali (7.24)
Of the 158 countries, 43 are
free of terrorism. They
include Burkina Faso, Brazil,
Congo Republic, Gabon,
Ghana, Jamaica, Gambia,
Liberia, North Korea, South
Korea, Poland, Uruguay,
Singapore and Zambia.
Produced
by the
Institute for
Economics
and Peace,
the GTI maps and analyzes
trends in terrorism over the
last 10 years and
systematically ranks and
compares 158 countries
according to the impact of
terrorism. The index is based
on data from the Global
Terrorism Database (GTD)
from the National
Consortium for the Study of
Terrorism and Responses to
Terrorism, START at the
University of Maryland.
The GTI uses four indicators
to measure the impact of
terrorism: the number of
terrorist incidents, the
number of deaths, the
number of casualties and the
level of property damage.
These indicators are used to
create a weighted five year
average for each country,
which takes into account the
lasting effects of terrorism.
The score given to each
country therefore indicates
the impact of a terrorist
attack on a society in terms
of the fear and subsequent
security response.
According to the report, from
2002 to 2011, North America
was the region least likely to
suffer from terrorism. Other
findings include: While more
terrorist attacks are being
recorded, the number of
fatalities has declined by 25
per cent since 2007.
Only 31 out of 158 countries
ranked have not experienced
a terrorist attack since 2002.
Most terrorist attacks occur
in the context of a wider
conflict situation.
Since the start of the Iraq
invasion the number of
terrorist incidents occurring
each year has increased
fourfold, globally
In 2011 Iraq was the country
that was most impacted by
terrorism, followed by
Pakistan and Afghanistan.
